Email & Text Placeholder List

This list of place holders are used when sending emails, email blasts, text messages, email templates, mail merge documents, mail merge templates, campaign event emails, as well as link group emails* using SalesOptima. One or more place holders may be used in the subject or body of the email. During email processing, each place holder will be replaced with it’s corresponding data item, see below for details, and then will be sent to the recipient(s). If no data item exists, the place holder will be replaced with an empty string (“”).

*Note: When sending an email to a link group simply change the placeholders from PH_ to PH_Link to replace the link group recipient’s fields.
